Dear Members and Guests,

Bentleigh RSL is beyond excited to announce we are reopening Friday 30th October.

On Monday the 26th of October the Victorian Government announced, that we are able to reopen, although with a number of restrictions.

Due to the current restrictions we will be reopening our Bentleigh site and utilising the areas available to us. Unfortunately, at this stage we will not be reopening our Cheltenham Campus until we are permitted to seat an increased number of members inside.

We are devastated to have to have closed the doors and the impact on the Sub Branch, staff and community has been far reaching.

We’re doing our best to keep you safe during this time with a COVID-19 Safety Management Plan which includes:

• EVERY person entering the venue must sign in and out EVERY time to ensure compliance with government contact tracing rules
• Severe restrictions on number of people allowed in the club and spaces
• Hand sanitiser throughout the venue
• Social distancing measures including floor markers and distanced tables
• COVID Marshal on duty at all times
• Regular and consistent sanitising procedures

What’s Changed:

• Venue will be open 7 Days
• Breakfast Saturday and Sunday 9am – 11am
• All day Dining available from 11:30am – 8:30pm
• Dining times will be limited to 90 minutes
• Max table booking is 10 people
• Bookings for Lunch and Dinner are strongly encouraged
• Table service will be provided for all drink and beverage orders – no standing you must be seated at a table
• Alcohol can be purchased without having a meal although snacks will be available
• Entry will be through the front Centre Road main entry only

We have gone into great depth to ensure your safety while visiting us.
We kindly ask our members to do their part so we can collectively work to get back to normal by:

• signing in and out on entry and exit
• stay at home if you feel unwell
• maintain 1.5m social distance when walking through public areas and queuing
• remain seated and avoid roaming the Club
• ensure you are only mingling with your table
• Face masks must be worn upon entering and exiting from the venue and at any time food or beverage is not being consumed.

We thank all our Members and Guests that are doing everything in their power to ‘flatten the curve’ so we can gradually get back to business as usual.

Bentleigh RSL facilities will be open Friday 30th October from 10am and you can still visit us to enjoy a coffee and cake, lunch, dinner or just a cold beverage.

We need your support now more than ever and we can’t wait to open the doors again when we are able. Please stay up to date on our Facebook page for the latest news.

Stay safe.

Regards,
Glenn Sanders
General Manager
